I usually recommend it to new joiners so that they don't have to worry about federation right away and can just use the local communities.

After that, I encourage them to move to smaller instances, but I guess they are just comfortable there

If they join to use local, and it works well for them, why would they switch to a smaller instance?

[–] BMO@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

My guess is to distribute users more evenly across instances. Mo' users mo' problems.

They should switch to smaller instances to help distribute the load and avoid situations such as this one when LW is probably attacked because it is the most populous server.

It most resembles what they know and does not require them to leave it.

There's not much to worry about federation though. I'm not even on a Lemmy server and I see plenty of Lemmy.world.
